After the arrival of the Stillness last issue, the alien speedsters begin traveling around the world, with Max Mercury watching their every move. Meanwhile, Wally encounters another former foe who's gotten a major upgrade--the Folding Man--while entering a new location beyond time called the Gallery...what hidden truths does this place hold for the Flash?

As the Flash continues to explore the Gallery, he meets a living entity called the Resident that he feels drawn to. Can she aid him in his battle against the Folding Man...and even if she can, does she want to? Meanwhile, Mirror Master returns, unveiling even more upgrades since we last saw him in The Flash #800--but he's not the only one with new powers, as Irey Thunderheart West is eager to show the world. Also, the Stillness decide to act upon humanity as the new chapter for the Flash Family continues!

A NEW FLASH EVENT BEGINS: BAD MOON RISING The moon has become a battleground in the war to end all wars. On one side: Wally West. And Wally West. And Wally West. Using his newfound powerset gained after the Justice League's battle with Darkseid, he's split himself hundreds of times, into an army of TEMPS, as Wally keeps going while spreading himself thinner and thinner. On the other side: Eclipso, reborn in a terrifying new form. After razing Skartaris, he's built a new army, and taken control of the Moon, in his quest to replace Darkseid as the ultimate expression of existential evil. But, Eclipso isn't the only one attempting the fill the void left by Darkseid's death, as the Temp Wally on the Watchtower with the Justice League is fast learning... It's a rumble over all sides of the Moon, as the ALL IN era of the Fastest Man Alive enters its first event: Bad Moon Rising!

BAD MOON RISING, PART TWO! As Wally continues to split himself into more temps to try to keep the battles raging on the moon under control, Eclipso reveals his new allies--the Rogues!

BAD MOON RISING, PART THREE! With Eclipso taking on a new, evolved form as a fire elemental, and the Rogues' blitzkrieg across the moon claiming more and more of the Flash's copies, Wally West has to split himself even further--but there is dissension amongst the Temp Flashes!

"The Flash makes a desperate play to save Iris from Reverse-Flash-and you can't be sure who will be left standing by this issue's end!"

"Grodd believed he was destined to become the bearer of light-until The Flash raced onto the scene! What will Grodd do now that The Flash has disappeared with the rest of the world's heroes? Conquest is on the horizon as the world becomes-Forever Evil!"

"Discover the untold origin of Reverse-Flash! Who is he, and what is his relationship to Barry Allen? Secrets are revealed and questions answered as we race through the history of Reverse-Flash right through to Forever Evil!"

"The Rogues have their rules and their ways of doing business-so what do they think of the Secret Society's claims that the Justice League is dead, and that the world's villains need to unite? It's a culture clash that won't end quietly!"

BAD MOON RISING, PART 6! With Eclipso and the Rogues surging across the surface of the Moon, Eclipso shifts the Earth into further darkness and Jai West and the Flash find their dog, Foxy--but will one of the temp Flashes destroy the Flash Family's quest to turn the tide?

"A BATMAN: ZERO YEAR tie-in! What crucial part did Barry Allen play in the Zero Year saga, and how did it shape his future as The Flash?"

MORE FLASHES OF INSIGHT! Wally West is now the savior of three cities, depending on how you count: Central, Keystone, and Metropolis. And for once, it's going great! In fact, it's going better than great, because Wally's Flashes of Insight are now letting him see even further into the future, so he can stop accidents (and crimes!) well before they happen—including a simultaneous attack on three bridges in three cities! But there are some forces that really don't like what Wally is up to—and they intend to stop him whether Wally likes it or not.

THE FUTURE COMPROMISED! Somehow, Wally West's visions of the future failed to foresee the destruction of three separate bridges in three separate cities, but he's determined not to let this interfere with the good work he's doing. But the rest of the League is less interested in letting him experiment on such a scale, especially when the costs are so high and people are getting hurt. But the Flash still wants to do good and doesn't see a setback as a reason to abandon the entire thing. And besides, there's not much anyone can do to stop the Flash... ...is there?

"In our massive 50th issue, The Flash must win back the trust of Central City! But to do so, he needs to outrun the police force that's been charged with bringing him down-with the awesome power of the Rogues behind it all! "

"The Flash's world is in utter chaos: he's wanted by the police, headed by his adoptive father. His enemies, The Rogues, have been deputized to take him in. And it couldn't be a worse time for The Riddler to stake his claim as the most dangerous man in Central City!"

"The Riddler has seized control of Central City. If The Flash moves, he'll put everyone he loves in mortal danger. To save the city-and himself-he'll need help from the unlikeliest of allies."
